Salute Keith. Rough week for my 2008 ML 350 104K Miles. My serpentine belt snapped. The belt went into my oil pan, cam shaft, some of the belt was lodged inside behind the large pulley. Locked up my alternator. Metal shavings from the alternator pulley in the engine bay. Smoke as well coming from under the hood. Hefty bill. Went to my mechanic. Not the stealership. I heard some noise coming from one of my pulleys earlier. I was actually going to the my mechanic a few days later in the week. This taught me a valuable lesson. It's not worth it, your car gives you signs. Take advantage. I lose some stripes as a car guy on this one. My ego is checked at the door. Thought I share this with eveyone. Don't procrastinate. Thx for the video content Keith. It's greatly appreciated.

illwills i feel your pain. That's really annoying that the belt snapped and did the damage that it did. Keep me posted as to what the mechanic says, finds. I've been there too where i hear a noise, ignore it and then boom! Major damage.

@@iRepairAutos Hi Keith. My Mechanic showed me parts of the serpentine belt in my oil Pan, I noticed the large pulley, there is a rubber lip on top, That was totally gone. So, my belt slide directly off the pulley. Once my old alternator was out. I saw the serpentine belt was fully wrapped over the pulley. It was a mess. OH EVERYONE Should check their Tran mission Pan. I have to change mine, and it is severely rusted. Living in the northeast. We should pay attention to this as well. We have snow and then salt from the ground can cause this.

@@illwills yes. The guide pulley doesn't have sealed bearings and will freeze at around 100k causing the belt to fly off when the plastic pulley melts result is catastrophic damage. Anything and everything. The belt was new in my case. Total loss 2003 e500

That’s an amazing fix. You saved me a ton of time and money. My 2011 E550 4matic radio was pure static no music. I reset it as you instructed and it works great and I didn’t lose my preset stations. So thank you!!

Thank you sooo much 🤘🤘i had the same static sound in my s class but 100 times louder, almost blowing out my ears because of its loudness. With this procedure i got it fixed after resetting 🤘🤘a million thank you 🤘🤘

Big thanks. Disconnected my battery and upon reconnecting battery my radio did this. After reset it works now. Thank you

1776 great presentation. Good work. Hope it solves my intermittent loud squealing

1776. This video helped me fix super loud speaker static on a 2008 Mercedes C300. Thank you!!!!!!

​@@iRepairAutos Hi Keith, I've invested in a pair of drive-up ramps and a trolley jack, multimeter and a substantial toolkit that I've built up over the years. Add to this the Haynes manual series and I have saved thousands. I would set about the equation as follows; To start Labour costs, here in London, UK, a "cheap" local garage charges £70.00 ($89.94 US) per hour for labour, so even if you were to tag/rate each video with an estimated duration to complete time, e.g. 30, 60, 90 120 (minutes) that would show roughly how much labour charges are saved. Secondly, the cost of diagnosing a fault as we know is both time-consuming and frustrating as well potentially costly. You can add a minimum of 30 minutes minimum automatically, per each video. (which garage won't add a "finders fee" not to mention charging for work that wasn't even done.) Thirdly, your clear and methodical step by step instructions in the videos will save huge amounts of time when people actually go to work on the car, as they know what to expect before they even get there. Then you can put a total hourly rate cost to each video and multiply it by $89.94 haha! that would give you an approximate total saving you are giving per video. Much appreciate your videos, btw if you ever break down in London you've got a set of tools and help, just ping me! Best of luck!!!

Keith...glad to see you up and healthy again! I have another problem....my 08 ml350 command display is stuck on the logo screen. It used to keep playing like this, but now it stopped and it won't even turn off even after the key is removed. I've been able to pull the fuse and get the display off, but would like some music playing again. Is this the head unit, or another bad SAM? I need you Sir! What should I do?

2008 GL450 radio speakers sound staticky or like they're blown but once the vehicle warms up stereo sounds fantastic any idea what module it might be I took the amp apart under the driver seat because it was wet under there at one time but I fixed all that and warmed it with a hair dryer but no change any idea what module would cause this I appreciate all your help you're awesome.

My ML350 2007y. I have the service message "G", what is the scope of this service? I can't delete it using the metod shown in your films.

1776.... I'm really surprised this work, I had this problem for about 2 months and I just couldnt firgure or guess it just needed to be reseted thanks

Any more solutions? Thats not work in my cls unit not reseting like on your video just changing few settings but creepy sound still on 🤔
